Plainfield Mom Takes Bandana's to the Next Level
Plainfield, IL
June 5, 2005 -- Just more than six months ago, this mother of three, Phyllis Pometta was in search of ways to earn a living from home.
Having given birth to her third child in late August 2004, returning to work was not the best option for her.After countless nights, Pometta realized the answer to her problem was staring right back at her.
It was because of the green baby eyes belonging to her newborn, that Bandana Boutique was also born.
The very next day, Pometta started her new business venture by creating her first baby blanket.
Next was a pillow, window valance and crib skirt.
Pometta completely designed her new baby's bedroom simply by using a regular bandana.
"All babies are unique, so why can't their bedding be just as unique, if not more?" says Pometta, "There are many designer baby blankets out there, but none that are made solely from bandanas."Shortly after the baby's room was completed, Pometta...

Ready-to-Wear is Ready-to-Die
Brooklyn, NY (ContentDesk) August 4, 2005 -- Where's an edgy girl with a tiny waist and wide hips to find clothing that fits her body and her sense of style? That's exactly the question that prompted Erika Rier, owner of Mellifluous Couture, to launch her new customized line of clothing. Based on the notion that most women have "uncommon" proportions, at least according to today's Ready-to-Wear standard sizing, Rier launched Mellifluous Couture and created its Build-a-Dress, Construct-a-Skirt and Style-a-Shirt lines. According to Rier, the problem women are facing today is two-fold?they can't find clothing that fits their body precisely, nor can they find clothing that is truly unique to their sense of style. Rier's clients have been improvising for years, buying only shirts in one store, only pants in another; removing flowers and adding sashes; having hems taken in and hems let out?in short, trying in some small way to make their clothing their own. To further complicate matters, the...

Short Skirts
Short skirts, are what you might call a 'clubbing uniform.' This may seem strange in the cold season, but it's quite the opposite. Even when winter is at its peak everyone is wearing short skirts. However, a miniskirt is more than a fashion statement-it's a declaration of youth and independence.
In fact, the history of the miniscule garment is intriguing. Though we tend to associate sixties fashion with short skirts, the mini was not worn by many until 1966.
The precursor of the mini dress was the straight shift, which developed from the 1957 sack dress, and was well below the knee. In 1966, couturier Mary Quant introduced the first short shift dress. Inspired by the Mini Cooper automobile, Quant was at the pinnacle of her fame when she created the micro-mini.
Owing to her position in the UK haute couture circuit, the miniskirt grew into a key international trend. However, there were conflicting opinions as to who was the original creator of the mini....
